RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught us all that it's never too late to abandon every single thing you claimed to believe in as recently as 60 seconds ago. Brave. Iconic. Unhinged. We'll miss you.

Analysis Summary
Lindsey Graham did die — the South Carolina senator passed Saturday night at 71 after a brief illness, confirmed by every major outlet. The post is a sardonic eulogy pointing to Graham's well-documented political reversals, most famously going from calling Trump a 'race-baiting xenophobic bigot' in 2016 to becoming one of his closest Senate allies. His death leaves a Senate vacancy that South Carolina's governor will temporarily fill, complicating an already tight GOP majority ahead of the November election. Graham had just returned from a Ukraine trip and was pushing a Russia sanctions bill in his final days.
